\n Taking place this Friday (August 8), the session is the fruit of a partnership between the York branch of Parkinson\u2019s UK and local inclusive cycling organisation Get Cycling.\n<\/p>\n
\n Those affected by other neurological conditions besides Parkinson’s are welcome to attend too.\n<\/p>\n
\n The session will be held from 2pm to 3.30pm at the cycle track at York Sport Village.\n<\/p>\n
\n Maria Liversidge, a specialist Parkinson\u2019s physiotherapist at York Hospital and one of the event’s organisers, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for people with Parkinson\u2019s to try something new.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Even those with limited balance and coordination can take part in a safe, supervised setting.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Just come along and have a go.”\n<\/p>\n
\n A variety of specially adapted bikes and trikes will be available to try, with Get Cycling staff to be on hand to guide attendees.\n<\/p>\n
\n Paula Clark from Get Cycling said: “It\u2019s been wonderful to help people who thought their cycling days were over.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We\u2019re excited to support the Parkinson\u2019s community and help more people rediscover the joy of riding.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Jay Sillence, of InkBlot Films, has created a short promotional video for the event.\n<\/p>\n
